Found one for 150 brand new. Talked them down to 125.

Resmed -s9 with nose pillows


Is this gonna change my life?


ETA: I had done the sleep study done but the insurance has been jerking me around.

Found one through a friend and the price seemed good so i’m pulling the trigger.

My snoring is extremely loud and apparently I stop breathing in my sleep

Don't put semen in it.

Ask your mom.

I felt like a new man once I started sleeping soundly with a CPAP. I had energy I didn’t know I could have.

Also, expect to throw it off at night for a few nights until you get used to it.

Have you had a sleep study to determine which pressure is best for you?

My dad put the lid back on too early once. Melted it all over the fryer. Ruined. I guess my advice is to let it cool first.

you know it;s funny....

up until a few years ago...right about the time the Obamacare changed the rules for "medical devices" very few people were prescribed CPAP machines.

Now, EVERYONE NEEDS ONE TODAY!!!!!!!!

It is going to highly uncomfortable and awkward to wear at first. Keep wearing it and it will become natural. I have hard time sleeping with out it now.

Did sleep study about a month ago but still haven’t heard back from them. I haven’t met my insurance deductible yet so I figure this might be cheaper

It will help you sleep better. I would get the Philips Dreamwear mask. Doens't go over your face or up your nostrils.

I need to get off the fence and get one, I've been told for years that I often hold my breath in my sleep and my snoring is like a tractor raping a grizzly bear.

The best experience is from APAP. It is an auto algorithm that lowers pressures on exhalation to make breathing more natural.

I tried one in a sleep study. Hated it. Worst night of sleep in a long time. I opted for surgery instead, and that was 10 months ago. I'm sleeping much better, have more energy, and the only time my wife says I'm snoring is if my nose is congested. I don't snore through my mouth anymore. I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea in the first sleep study, and had to go back for round 2 with the CPAP all night. They said before the first study that they would try the CPAP that night if I needed it, but only if it was before 2 AM because they needed 4 hours of data on the machine for the study.
